Facts about WAS/WASL-interacting protein family member 1.
May participate in regulating the subcellular localization of WASL, leading to the disassembly of stress fibers in favor of filopodia formation. Plays a role in the formation of mobile ruffles (By similarity).

Highly expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, spleen, placenta, small intestine, colon and thymus. Lower expression in ovary, heart, brain, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, prostate and testis.
Cytoplasmic vesicle. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection, ruffle. Vesicle surfaces and along actin tails. Colocalizes with actin stress fibers. When coexpressed with WASL, no longer associated with actin filaments but accumulated in perinuclear and cortical areas like WASL (By similarity).
